March 15 News, the domestic Office software service provider yesterday held a conference, openly questioned the competitor Microsoft Office 365 cloud Services in China operating qualification.
Microsoft officially announced the corporate version of Office 365 in China at the end of February, including the Office 365 Small Enterprise Advanced edition, Office 365 midsize Enterprise Edition, and Office 365 Enterprise Edition. Office 365 has become one of Microsoft's fastest-growing businesses since 2011, and 18 months after its release, 20% of Microsoft's corporate users have already used the paid subscription service, and small and medium-sized businesses using Office 365 have grown 12 over the past 150% months.
Microsoft Office 365 has adopted a technology-mandated model for its operations in China. Last November, Microsoft reached a partnership with the Internet infrastructure service provider of the mainland to achieve Microsoft Enterprise Cloud services--office 365 and Windows Azure landing in China. According to the agreement signed by the two sides, Microsoft will be connected to the century licensing technology, the latter operating the two services.
But the model is challenged by local rivals. PepsiCo CEO Jianhua has three points to ask:
1, Microsoft Office 365 is a value-added telecommunications business, Microsoft should provide its access to telecommunications business license, foreign shareholding does not exceed 50% of the relevant proof;
2, Office 365 China's official website to accept any enterprises in China to pay the renminbi, is a business site, Microsoft should provide its access to the operating Internet Information Services Licensing relevant proof;
3, Office 365 services provided by the United States Microsoft, and therefore belong to the operation of Cross-border telecommunications business, Microsoft should provide the United States Microsoft operating Cross-border telecommunications business through the State Council of the Ministry of Industry and Information technology approved by the State Council, and the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology approved the establishment of the International Telecommunications import and export
Jianhua said that Microsoft did not have the certification, and most of the servers are abroad. In accordance with the relevant provisions, foreign-funded enterprises in China to build public cloud services, must take a joint venture with domestic companies or technical authorization to domestic companies in the form of landing operations.
So far, Microsoft has not responded to this.
In fact, the hundred will not be the first to point the finger at Microsoft. In the past few years, PepsiCo has deliberately targeted Microsoft for propaganda: As Microsoft calls for more government purchases, the company immediately announces that hundred cloud Office is free to government agencies, and Microsoft announces 3-month free Office 365 for college students, followed by the announcement of 4 years for free college students.
